E
at these alkaline foods for a long, alkaline life.
Almonds Th e health food of health foods, it should not come as a surprise that they’re also an alkaline food. Almonds have been tied to increased muscle gain, lowered cholesterol, and even weight loss. Th ese nutrient-rich nuts make a great, portable snack.
Collard greens I can’t say enough about leafy greens: Spinach, arugula, Swiss chard, and collard greens. Collards are a staple soul food; a serious source of alkaline fi repower, and a top cancer fi ghting food, to boot! Boasting 230 percent of the daily recommended amount of Vitamin A, and an alphabet soup of others, go ahead: Get your collard green on.
Artichokes On salads, or made into a dip, there are any number of reasons to eat more ar- tichokes. Th eir high alkaline levels will go a long way in raising your body’s pH levels, and they’re packed with antioxi- dants that will help increase the function of your liver, while also giving your digestive system a supportive boost.
Basil Spice. It. Up. Believe it or not (I’m walk- ing on air? Sorry, couldn’t help myself.), the herbs you use on your food can have
a profound impact — good, and bad — on the alkalinity of your body’s pH. It made our list, so you’ve probably already guessed, basil’s impact is a good one.
Olive Oil Fat is fl avor. And this kind is the best kind. Olive oil is the healthiest oil you can consume, and the most alkaline. Drizzle it over a salad (fi lled with carrots, and spinach, and cucumber, and peas, and tomato, of course!), or use it in your coking for extra health benefi ts. Olive oil has potent properties for weight loss, and detoxifi cation, too.
Alkaline Water & Fitness By drinking alkaline water we increase the intake of oxygen and help neutral- ize the buildup of acids before they are stored in the body. Acid coagulates blood causing bad circulation. An abundance of alkaline water, promotes bett er blood circulation, eliminating acidic waste helping the body heal itself.
Electrolyte enhanced water is designed to replace essential substances lost dur- ing exercise; it helps prevent dehydration caused by sweating out electrolytes and water. Water rejuvenates the cells in our body and it also helps in body tempera- ture regulation.
Exercise causes a drop in your body’s pH level, whether you realized it or not. Th ere are two main mechanisms, lactic
acid production and increased carbon dioxide levels, that can lead to a drop in your pH. Regular exercise training can help improve your body‘s ability to handle the sources of reduced pH. A decreasing blood pH can lead to fa- tigue and be a limiting factor for exercise intensity and endurance.
Key: Alkaline hydrated cells loaded with oxygen are naturally resistant to degen- erative disease.
